I think we have too many pianos

14
piano, steel pan
9?
I've played piano for 7(?) years now, I can play pretty much any song you give me, with enough practice. The hardest song I've played is probably Chopin's Scherzo 1. I'm working on Fantasie-impromptu. Steel pan, I can play any melody (I mean, the most that's possible to play is two notes at a time) but I don't think this will be needed.

I think we should write some of our own songs too.

We have 3 people who can only play piano, you, and 2 people who can play piano and two other instruments. …That's probably too much.

I concur. This sounds like a great idea.

Piano players: me, you, BlazingBlue, Maltese_Falcon, DJ-stickman, neica
They might not all play well/be experienced, but we can't have all of them contributing as a pianist.

You can take me out of piano playing then - I have two other instruments so piano will not be needed from me so that leaves 5 to choose from…

I have been playing piano for a long time but if we have too many piano i can do something else instead.

I can play quite a few classical songs and am quick to learn. I have done my grade 4, but spend a lot of time just learning songs.
I hope I can join, it sounds fun
